SAMENVATTING INLEIDIGN GEDRAGSWETENSCHAPPENNEURON:

Phrenology: peoples various abilities could be asserted by examining the shape of the slkull (gevangenis en
criminelen)

Psychology: the scientifitc study of behaviour and experience

Psychology researcher face challenges:

 Complexity: the complexity of behaviour physists studying atomic particles typically deal with only a
limited number of particles at once
 Self-awareness: psychologists also face challenges related to the human capacity for self-awareness
 Reactivity: when studying behaviours people change behaviour because they know your observed.
 Causality: if x actually leads to y

Perception: active process involving selection, organization and interpretation

Selective attention: selectively focusing on particular stimulus events

Ambigiuous figure: a picture or other visual stimulus which can be perceived in more than one way.

Gestalt theory: a theory behaviour pioneerd in the early part of the twentieth century by kohler, werheimer
and other, which emphasized the active creative nature of perception and learning

Similarity: a gestalt principle of perceptual organization based on grouping together similar elements.

Proximity a gestalt principle which state that elements which are close together tend to be perceived as a
group.

Closure: in perception the tendency ‘to fill in incomplete patterns to produce a coherent whole

Schema or schemata: a way of organizing mental framework which organisez knowledge belieds and
expectations.

Stereotypes confirmation bias: opzoek naar andere mensen die jouw mening bevestigen

Complementarity: a concept developed by physicists to deal with the existence of two models which are both
useful but not directly reconcible

Functionalism: emphasizes the analysis of the processes by which the mind works

Structuralis: which attempted to anayse the contents of the mind using the introspectionist method

Empirical: based on making observations as in an empirical theory

Theory: a structured set of principles intended to explain a set of phenomena

Induction: specifiek naar algemene theory

Deductie: algemeen naar specifieke theory

Hypothese: mogelijke verklaring

Introspectionism: data verzamelen waar het individu poging to analyse the content of their contious mind

Operationale definition: een definitie die je kan onderzoeken

,Self-report: a method of gathering data which involves asking an individual to describe their behaoubiour or
mental state in some way such as an interview

Think-aloud protocol: gedachten proces bestuderen

Direct observation: onderzoeker doet zelf onderzoek

Research setting, research method,,

Bystander apathy/bystander effect: niet ingrijpen in een noodsituatie

Naturalist observation: a research method based on a natural setting without interfering

Unobstructive measure: an indirect measure of behavour intended to avoid the reactivity which can occur with
direct observation such measures typically require making complex assumptions aout the relationship of the
measure to actual behaviour

Diffusion of responsibility: a lessening of an individuals feeling of responsibility in which involves other people

Correlatie:

1. One variable actually causes changes in the other
2. There is a third factor linking the observed variables
3. The observed pattern is really coincidental, and would not reoccur in an ew settin

case study

quasi-experiment: a research design in which participants are assigned to groups based on variables which
aoont be manipalutaed by the researcher:

obedience to authority

debriefing

milgram

BIOLOGICAL APPROACH

Phantom limb: een been weghalen maar nog steeds “gevoel/pijn in het been”

Mind: awarness/conciousness no physical form

Dualism: descart that says mind and body are separate

Materialism: the assumption that all behaviour has a physiological basis

Location of function: the assumption that specific function are associated with specific brain parts

Heredity: the biological transmission of characteristics from one generation to another

Natural selection: Darwin

Mind is mental en brian is fysiek

, NEURON EN NERVOUS SYSTEM

Neuron a cell of the nervous system

Synaps: the junction between two neurons represented by a small physical gap which is bridged by the flow of
neurotransmitters chemicals from the terminals of the sending neuron

Central nervous system (CNS): the brain en spinal cords

Peripheral nervous system (pns): buiten het CNS involving sensation morot contra land organ regulation

3 soorten neuronen:

- Sensorisch: zintuigen, een richtingsverkeer
- Motorisch: autonomisch,spieren, organen, somatsich

Neurotransmitters: boodschap hersennen in synaps

Interneurons: neuron which are part of the central nervous system

Nerve impulse the electrical signal generated when a neuron is active which normally passes from the
dendrites along the acon to the terminal


HERSENEN
Cortex: the pink somewhat wrinkled outer layer of the brain controlling many of our higher functions like
speech and perception

Frontal lobe: the area of the cortex in front of the central fissure. Involved in the interpretation of emotion and
experience

Frontal motor area: the area of the frontal lobes just before the central fissure controlling voluntary
movements

Parietal lobe: the portion of the cortex just behind the centersense of touch

Association areas: no primary function in cortex

Frontal lobotomy: an operation which involved sectioning or removing portions of the frontal love in attempt to
treat bipolar mood or chronic pain later shown to be largely ineffective as atherepeutic procedure

Temporal lobe: its primary function are hearing and memory

Occipatal lobe; vision

Visual agnosia: a general term for disorder which results in disruption of visual recognition

Limbic system: subcortical structures connecting the cortex with other parts of the brain and which are
important in many basic functions ( hypothalamus amygdala and hypocampus)

Hypothalamus: regulates behaviours associated with hunger thirst sex and other basic dribes and also plays a
role in regulating hormonal functiosn

Hippocampus: memory function

Amygdala: emotions and psoccibly memory
